I did not finish this challenge last year. I was only three books short of finishing the 2008 TBR Challenge. Let us try again this year.
The rules developed by MizB
* the challenge is to read 12 TBR books in 12 months -- you can read those all in one month if you want, or one a month, or however you wanna do it.
* you need to have a list posted somewhere for others to see (even if it's in a comment here)
* you CANNOT change your list after January 1st, 2009!!!
* you can create an Alternates list of MAXIMUM 12 books, if you want, in order to have options to choose from (you can read these in place of books on your original list).
* audiobooks and e-books ARE allowed
* re-reads are NOT allowed, as they aren't TRUE "TBRs"
* you CAN overlap with other challenges
If this is something that you would like to participate in you can sign up at 2009 TBR Sign up.

I did manage to finish this one, but just barely! It sounds so easy, but for some reason we get waayy off track. :-) Your 2009 list looks great! Good Luck!

I know what you mean about getting off track. When I started this challenge, I did very well and then I lost my focus on this challenge.
Happy New Year! We thought you and your readers might like to receive a free full-length novel, Jumble Pie, a heartwarming story about two women, a friendship, and a pie. The author has two published novels (Penguin Putnam) and is providing this as a thank-you to readers!
"JUMBLE PIE is the story of the elusive nature of friendship, sometimes clinging, other times liberating; a story for any woman who has ever lied to her best friend just to make her feel better - and who has been brave enough to tell the truth, even when it hurts. And of course, it's a story about the remarkable healing power of pie."
